About MARIAH
Mariah started working with the IWJV in May of 2020 to support science to implementation capacity within the Partnering to Conserve Sagebrush Rangelands initiative while working on her Ph.D. In 2022, Mariah joined the new Science to Implementation team full time as the Sagebrush Science to Implementation Specialist to continue to support IWJV and our partners in accessing, interpreting, and applying science within their on-the-ground work. Mariah is particularly passionate about working with partners to identify and overcome barriers to using the latest science and science-based resources to inform conservation action. Mariah earned a Ph.D. in Forest and Conservation Sciences and a BS in Biology, both from the University of Montana. Outside of work, Mariah loves spending time with her girlfriend and engaging in most human-powered outdoor activities, particularly trail running, mountain biking, and backpacking. She also enjoys growing and cooking food to fuel her adventures. Mariah has an unreasonable love of pizza and Ritz crackers. She is currently based in Missoula, Montana.
